Question for PC hardcore gamers by mudassarkazi

Hello Hardcore Gamers, I have a question, I am looking for a Core i3 laptop (with a graphics card) that can be capable of running all(most of) modern 3d games. Could anyone please suggest me any model. I know core i5s and i7s are better then i3s ...

Hello! I would like your recommendations for a pure vegetarian restaurant in Dhahran / Damman, which you personally know: 1) Cooks only vegetarian food 2) Does not use butter ghee (vegetable ghee is OK) 3) Is hygenic 4) Has staff that can speak ...

It is funny that you should mention Baskin Robbins, ghanshyampdave. They in fact do a strawberry sorbet that is entirely vegetarian and contains no dairy products at all. Maybe that variety is available in KSA. It is delicious! :) Read More

That was a remarkable improvement. But still, with FTTH, one would expect even better results. Your ping was good on both occasions. That is important for video-conferencing and on-line gaming. It would be good to hear your conclusions, if you do ... Read More
